Hawaii-Nei-Statement

Hawaiʻi Nei.

Home. Growing up on an island, deep in Puna with dirt roads, collecting our drinking water from the county spigots on the highway, catching rainwater in tanks in the backyard to bathe with, spending my childhood in the forest making forts and on the cliffs fishing and diving...all I wanted to do was get away on an airplane and go somewhere else, anywhere else. Far away.

I got my wish. I've spent over a decade living on the continent, on the road, making a life of pictures. Now my heart longs to be home.
